a July of cover songs and collaborations

Oh dear readers, thanks for your patience. If you've been wondering where I've been all month long, well, I've been on tour and playing shows (and vacationing, too). And I don't travel with a laptop and rarely get a chance to even check email from the road, so I thought I'd best throw out a blog to get you all updated.

This month of July has been filled with great opportunities to play with some wonderful musicians, and these performances all featured fun and surprising covers. (A "cover song" is a song written/performed and made famous by some other band/artist.) Quite a variety of venues (and genres) were represented...huge electric rock band on a festival stage, Finnish fiddle demonstrations, acoustic show in a pizza place, under a tent in a rodeo arena, etc. Rather than get into the gory details of all the fun gigs of the past four weeks, an overview of covers and collaborations should get the job done. Here are dates, venues, collaborators, and cover songs:

I don't suppose there's any hope that those sessions were recorded (and/or available). It sounds like a great tour.I'm a huge fan of Bob Bennett and always happy to see that he's still out there. I usually describe him as the Roy Orbison of Christian music; perhaps the most gifted singer/songwriter with an unmarketable image - an impeccable guitarist and perfect voice.And "Go Insane"? Sweet.
